Excerpt: The savings from Gov. Scott Walker's collective bargaining bill will not make up for the massive cuts in his upcoming two-year budget, according to a survey produced by a statewide association of cities and villages.
The Wisconsin League of Municipalities on Thursday released a survey of its 36 largest members that concluded Walker's collective bargaining legislation would pay for only about 61 percent of the funding cut by his 2012 budget.
The findings run counter to Walker's long-standing position that severe limitations on collective bargaining would more than make up the lost money.
